Morning by Morning, November 6, 2024 - “It’s Morning in America Again!” Good morning, Lord Jesus. Fill my lungs with the Breath of Your Holy Spirit today, as I breathe a sigh of relief and take a moment to rest in joy, and as I seek to begin my day grounded in Your Word and filled with Your Spirit (Ephesians 5:18). On this day after the election in our nation, after all the tension and stress of both an intensely spiritual and political battle that’s been waged on earth as well as in heaven, I have to admit a deep sigh of relief and an awakening sense of joy. Others have their own emotions and opinions at this moment this morning. They are entitled to theirs. And I am entitled to mine in the freedom all of us have to express our voice and our votes, our hearts and our desires from the perspectives and values we have. And the honest truth of my heart at this moment is a remembrance of words spoken by former President of the United States of America on the day after his election, as I recall: “It’s Morning in America again!”--President Ronald Reagan. That’s how I feel. That’s what I believe. And even as I express that sign of relief and the hope of expectant faith and joy in what lies ahead, despite all the challenges we’ll face, this Word comes to mind from Your Scriptures: “With the loving mercy of our God, a new day from heaven will dawn upon us” (Luke 1:78 NCV).
“But for you who fear My name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture!” (Malachi 4:2 NLT). “Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert. The beast of the field will honor Me, The jackals and the ostriches, Because I give waters in the wilderness And rivers in the desert, To give drink to My people, My chosen. This people I have formed for Myself; They shall declare My praise (Isaiah 43:19-21). As I breathe in Your Spirit and rest in Your peace for a moment, I don’t want to be prideful or arrogant or rude. I want to be sensitive to the sorrow and disappointment of nearly half our nation who had hoped for a different outcome. But at the same time, the honest truth is I am filled with joy, filled with hope, filled with thanksgiving and praise. I know there will be daunting challenges ahead and probably even more intense battles to fight in the Spirit, from my perspective, but for this moment right now, I’m taking a moment to let myself feel like a calf let out to pasture (Malachi 4:2), and like a lame man set free who went about “walking, leaping, and praising God!” (Acts 3:8). At this moment right now, I’m not ashamed to say, “Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen and Amen!” To me, it feels like “morning in America again!” In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
